Harald Fox receives funding from UKRI. Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, has died aged 94. He was always a modest man, especially when considering that ...

Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

Deep inside what we perceive as solid matter, the landscape is anything but stationary. The interior of the building blocks of the atom's nucleus -- particles called hadrons that most of us would ...

Two huge metal rings, each more than two miles around. Gold ions smashing together at more than 99.99 percent the speed of light. House-size machines with masses of neon green wires. Inside this set ...

A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest building blocks in nature: atomic nuclei. In new research published in Nature ...

The ancient Greeks conceived of five building blocks of matter – from bottom to top: earth, water, air, fire and aether. Aether was the matter that filled the heavens and explained the rotation of the ...

ANN ARBOR, MI - Homer Neal is a little like Hank Pym, the Marvel Comics character who discovered the subatomic world known as the Quantum Realm. The difference is Neal discovered the subatomic realm ...

Almost all of the visible matter in the universe is built from protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom. However, protons and neutrons are not a fundamental form of matter since ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...

September 17, 2024 | W&M physics researchers "turn to supercomputers to help build a 3D picture of the structures of protons and neutrons" Featured excerpt, by Joe McClain for Jefferson Lab: "Deep ...

Nuclear theorists in the HadStruc Collaboration have been working on a mathematical description of the interactions of partons using supercomputers, including machines in Jefferson Lab's Data Center.
